Veterans Day

what do you see when you look at this pic ? Veterans Day is a day set aside to show respect to the ones that served in one of our Wars ! I think of when i was a little girl my mom baked she would have us once a week help her put together care packages we would sent note and letters to a young man we new and others in his troop. His name was John K. so thank you and to all that are serving today. thank you to the family's and your time aways form your loved ones. Veterans day is a day that our country has put aside to support and give thanks to thous that have gone into battle that have fought the good fight. There has been many battle through out history. in present time we have some people that were in WWII, others the Korean War, the Vietnam war. Today i give thanks to my Dad for the time he served. Now he has had many battle in his life, and from were i set the Korean War was probably the least of them. And as he enters the final days he may have on the earth i find, myself reflecting on the scars he has to carry. I pray he feals his peace and comfort. I once read how does one honor someone that has Dis-honored you. I asked my mom what she thought and she said to remove self and in cert God. This last year i have learned that most(not all) the homeless were once vets of a war or once in foster care or both. They are the one that have made this land i place were we can sleep at night, with out tanks rolling down the middle of your streets. So today i am humbled when thinking of this man and the battles only God No's yet he is still able to fight the good fight. I have new hope in a new friend received through a lovely woman Rena that i just met. She is a friend of my Dads, our friendship grows i will see a new side her refection of my Dad. We all have battles to face it's not what we go through it's how others see us as we live this life. So today i am counting my blessings. Thank You Dad for this new friend, and to my Father for this new friendship. Tring and Honor you as i grow in your light and my, this new friend only see you in me as i ask my self how can i serve today.
